If Mom burned the toast, I was told to scrape off the black particles with a butter knife.
Old joke:
“My wife treats me like a Greek god. Every morning for breakfast I get burnt offerings.”
I was going to post that it’s something older people like. You know, those who ate toast before there were pop-up toasters. You had to keep watching it, and it was easy to forget if you were doing other things.
I’ve been having fried bacon for breakfast for about 80 years. So far, rather than killing, it comforts me. Few things are more horrible than opening the refrigerator in the morning and finding that you’ve run out of bacon.
I’m doomed.
Exactly. There is no such thing as a toxic substance or particle. What’s the LD rating or ppm/ppb/ppt? Most people tend to think of substances like formaldehyde as being toxic to humans. The same people usually don’t understand that humans produce about 1.5 ounces of formaldehyde daily. Formaldehyde also exists in the kitchen cabinets I just installed. The key to determining toxicity is accurately identifying a lethal dose.
If the bambulance chasers can convince “juries” that talcum powder can give you cancer, I guess burnt toast will be a new ad we’ll have to suffer through from those idiots and their retarded “courts” and “juries”.
Kids are funny that way. I see it work in reverse too.
One of my Granddaughters wants dill relish on EVERYTHING, even Pizza. It’s starting to gross everyone out with what she will put it on. I love her being “politically incorrect”, love to see them all cringe when she eats it. lol
It’s not hurting her one bit. They are harming themselves with their own ignorant predisposed ideology about what someone should or should not eat. Dill relish on ice-cream never killed anyone. :)
Vance said at a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science …Properly called the American Association for the Advancement of Pseudo-Science. They are political rather than scientific, and have been one of the biggest domestic pushers of the climate change hoax.
When I was a kid, my parents took us to the Coliseum (local arena) for some event. I’d never had pizza before. I made my way to the food counter, spent a quarter of MY money on a slice of cheese pizza, took a bite off the point, hated it, left the rest under the seat.
To this day, I have regretted that decision. I wasted a quarter AND I threw away a perfectly good slice of pizza. I regretted that decision because today...I am a friggin’ pizzaholic.
Do not worry about your granddaughter.
There are already Federal standards on toasters. A toaster has to be able to provide a service-life of at least 5000 cycles, iirc.
Probably requires the electromagnetic hold down, too, for safety.
I miss my parents' old Sunbeam toaster that would automatically lower and then raise the bread at the end of a cycle. And gave the best overall browning coverage.
It finally gave up the ghost after nearly 50 years.
They have a program called Chemistry of Indoor Environments. The turgid description below can be used to describe so many such similar programs...
The program makes grants to achieve a series of interrelated goals.
Here is a video of researcher Marina Vance talking about HOMEChem: Indoor Chemistry: An Emerging Science. It's had a whopping 128 views in seven months.
HOMEChem gave a $76,000 grant to the University of Texas, Austin to analyze building performance data of the UTest House for HOMEChem. UT's investigator is Atila Novoselac.
"Influence Watch" shows a very different list of recipients: "The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation has made donations to these recipients." Lots of left-wing kook causes on the list:
No wonder my grandmother only made toast in a skillet tasted much better and you could make it any color you wanted so there.
The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation paid for it. See Post #71.
More importantly, it is also the chief cause of global warming
Pretty sure Venezuelans or Norks wouldn't push a plate of them away.
Good point.
keyword..... could.
“Researchers in the US found the least harmful way to make toast was to turn the bread a light golden brown rather than burning it’
handy tip ... i’ve apparently been doing it wrong ...
A must for toasted marshmallows. :)
